Just speaking from my own experience, you won't get an invite. I've tried. Few players can give them and the ones that can, won't give em away to just anyone.

Intertops to my knowledge quit accepting US players a few months ago, after they had an influx and quick spike in business. Not exactly sure why they stopped but all but positive you cannot join and will not be able to in the future as a US player.

It is true that new US players can join only via invitation. And it's also true that those invitations are hard to come by, and you won't get one by asking on a public forum. And just to be clear, not just any player can invite you -- only certain players are granted US invitation privileges. If you try to sign up from a regular player invite, your account will be created but then suspended and you won't be able to login or play.

I can tell you the action is pretty poor right now, because they've just recently been forced to adopt a strict segregation policy due to certain other skins on the network not paying their debts. Intertops is without doubt the most well-run US facing real moneypoker site left, and my hope is that they're preparing to leave the Revolution network. I just don't know where they'd go -- ideally they'd go on their own, but starting from zero player liquidity might be a problem. Merge and WPN are the only remaining networks allowing US players, but Merge has been dropping their excess skins and WPN's software is the worst of all of them IMO.

Most of the skins that merge dropped were ran by the same company and they felt that they did not need all of those. Also WPN's software is not that bad anymore and in my opinion is better then Bovada and any skin on Revolution.

Agree with you about Bovada, but definitely not Revo or Merge IMO. As much as ALL of them suck compared to PS and FTP, and as much as I hated Revo at first, it grew on me given the competition. I hated Merge's 6.0 upgrade too, but WPN, although improved somewhat after the recent update, still has a long way to go to catch up even to those guys. What WPN does have going for it is good customer service and US payouts (although not as good as Intertops).

I've recently had a situation that has yet to resolve.
I had opened an account with them a while back but never deposited.
I spoke with support about depositing mainly because I want to set up rakeback account first and my provider advertises that they have it but cannot inquire from their end because they no longer accept US accounts.
So support says they are e-mailing me decision.

I believe that this has the same traffic as Lock and all the other Cake/Juicystakes ect skins. on the revolution network.
I was interested in this skin because I've heard their payout time is better than others (lock).
